New Words Added to the English Dictionary in 2016

So far in this year 2016, the Oxford English dictionary have been updated 4 times (once for each quarter).
 
According to daliymail.co.uk, A total of 1,200 new words have been added to the numerous already existing. Some of the words added centres around internet activity, sexuality and a special tribute Roald Dahl.
It will also interest you to know that the word of the year 2016 is xenophobia.
Here are top ten words that caught my attention so much:
  1. YOLO: an acronym for You only live Once
  2. Gender-fluid: not clearly or wholly male or female, unfixed gender identity
  3. Clicktivism: the practice of signalling support for a political or social cause by means of the internet, through social media and online platforms.
  4. Bracketology: the activity of predicting the participating teams in a tournament and the winners of a competition.
  5. Moobs: usually prominent breasts on a man
  6. Merica: America
  7. Freemium: A business model especially on the internet where basic services are provided free of charge.
  8. Non-apology: an insincere apology
  9. Squee: representing a high squeaking sound produced by an animal, musical instrument.
  10. Dahlesque: Resembling or characteristics of the works of Roald Dahl
